Abstract
THIS pamphlet contains a reprint of two papers, in which the author has endeavoured to map out the districts in which the particular forms of disease above-mentioned are most frequently encountered. The subject of his geographical distribution of disease is a most important one in its bearings upon the great question of the causation of disease. It is a subject, however, in which the facts should be many and the conclusions few, if he who draws them wishes to make lasting contributions to the science of medicine.
Abstracts of Two Papers on the Geography of Disease.
I. The Geographical Distribution of Heart Disease and Dropsy in England and Wales. II. The Geographical Distribution of Cancer in England and Wales. By Alfred Haviland. Pp. 18. (London, 1869.)
